Sternberg Lighting

LMPG is excited to announce that Lumca is merging its US-based activities with Sternberg Lighting, creating a Site and Area powerhouse capable of addressing a wide range of applications and verticals.

What This Means for the Community​

• Broader Design Choices: Sternberg is known for its classic and traditional fixtures. By adding Lumca, Sternberg can now also offer a full line of contemporary designs — giving the industry more options, whether the project calls for timeless or modern aesthetics.
• One Strong Partner: In the US, Lumca will operate as Lumca by Sternberg, making it easier to work through one trusted sales network and customer service team. In Canada, Lumca will continue as a distinct brand, supported by its existing Canadian partners.
• Seamless Experience: Lumca products will be highlighted on Sternberg's website, with direct access to Lumca's site as well. There will be no changes to the product portfolio.

Benefits to the Community​

• Manufactured in Roselle, IL: With production centralised in the US, Lumca by Sternberg products are better positioned to meet the varied requirements of domestic preference programs such as Buy America and the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA).
• Quality + Design: Specifiers will get Lumca's modern look combined with Sternberg's reputation for engineering, durability, and service.
• Improved Delivery: Together, Lumca and Sternberg are strengthening supplier partnerships to shorten lead times and reinforce their commitment to on-time delivery.
• Responsive Support: Sternberg's expanded team is ready to provide quick answers, expert technical guidance, and the service the community expects.

Looking Ahead​

This combination allows Sternberg to deliver a more complete portfolio, more reliably, and with more support than ever before. Whether your project calls for a traditional acorn or lantern, or a sleek contemporary design, Sternberg and Lumca together are here to help bring that vision to life.

Sternberg Lighting, a pioneer in the lighting manufacturing industry since 1923 and a leader in the street and area segment, proudly announces the launch of its new branding initiative as part of its centennial celebration. Alongside the refreshed identity, a new showroom and training center will be unveiled later this year, at Sternberg corporate headquarters, in Roselle, Illinois. With a legacy spanning a century of innovation and excellence, Sternberg remains steadfast in its commitment to advancing the industry's standards.

The unveiling of Sternberg's new branding marks a significant milestone in the company's journey. Designed to reflect its rich heritage while embracing the future, the refreshed branding with a classic color palette embodies Sternberg's core values of integrity, innovation, and excellence. It represents a renewed vision for the next century, characterized by continued growth, expansion, and adaptability.

"Our centennial year is a testament to the dedication and passion of everyone who has been part of the Sternberg family throughout the decades," said Rocco Masella, President at Sternberg. "As we look back on our achievements and milestones, we are also excited to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. Our new branding encapsulates our unwavering commitment to excellence and serves as a symbol of our enduring legacy."

In tandem with this revitalized branding, Sternberg announces the introduction of a new product categorization system. This innovative approach organizes the offerings into three distinct categories: classic, modern classic, and contemporary products. This strategic initiative not only enhances clarity for their customers but also underscores Sternberg's commitment to providing diverse options to meet the lighting professionals' evolving needs.

"We are incredibly proud of our heritage and the values that have guided us for the past century," added Mike Renner, Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Sternberg.
